Transformation of the old power system in an old attraction at Efteling Theme Park for a new contact-less system

Abstract

The study will introduce the current state of the ride and an evaluation. Then, there will be an analysis of the different alternatives the can be considered to improve the current system. There will also be a discussion about advantages and disadvantages of each one in order to make a reasonable decision about which one is going to be chosen. With a decision taken, the project will continue defining the work required to complete on the field, such as the installation of the new power system, new wiring system and the choice of the new engines for the cars. The new engines will have to meet all the requirements of the new network, being able to power the car and push it to make it work properly, nicely and safely for the guest. The guides should stay on the floor for security reasons (to prevent the car getting off railed) and the vehicle should be able to run without touching the guide-rails.
